I just love Etsy! There`s so many unique one of a kind pieces, you never know what you`ll find! So of course I was honored when Ginette from Cissy Beads offered me with a review as well as a giveaway of one of her gorgeous pieces from her shop! Ginette was kind enough to send me two of her stretch bead rings. One is for me to keep while the other is for a very special reader to have a chance to win! The first thing that caught my attention about Ginette is that she is local to me. Not exactly down the road, but in the same state. I may be a nerd but these things excite me! She is from Ama, LA! So you get a little bit of that southern love put into your jewelry pieces. The ring I received is beautiful! They are handmade with beads and love. Since these do stretch, the rings are one size fits most. I requested a slightly smaller one since I have small fingers (size 5-6). The ring I received fit perfect! The beautiful dark blue/purple colored swarovski crystal bead, which is the main focus on the ring, you can see is faceted and sparkles some in the light. Next to the main bead, is a bead on each side of it with "diamond accents" (not real diamonds), followed by the beaded ring band. What catches my attention is that this ring can be used to go with formal or casual wear. It`s simple enough to go with the casual, yet the sparkles of it is enough to make it elegant and go with the formal. The shipping time was super quick, in fact, it got here over night from when we arranged this review, granted I do live in the same state. My ring was packaged in it`s own individual bag for its protection and arrived in perfect condition. The customer service I received was nothing less than friendly with quick email responses. If you`re looking for some nice, unique rings at affordable prices, then check out Cissy Beads on Etsy!
